Asked By:Luminous407894 in Sanger, California

I had TT with MR on Nov. 2023, is it normal to still feel MR pain ? I can't seem to stretch out without having an awful tear like pain. I still wear my girdle with board on my abdomen bcs it helps with the pain. The days I don't wear the board, I swell up and the pain/soreness where the MR was done lasts for a few days and I can't stand straight. I have to stand with a slight hunch. Is this a normal process?
